The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



NOTBMBBB 80, 1911. 



somewhat in price, but are in good sup- 

 ply and quality. Fancy stock is scarce 

 enough, but of short-stemmed flowers 

 there is an abundance. Valley is about 

 equal to the demand and orchids are in 

 ^bout the same condition. Lilium Har- 

 risii is in short supply. Maidenhair is 

 getting poorer and smiiaz better and 

 cheaper. California red berries are 

 commencing to be an item. 



Business is rather quiet and, although 

 everyone is optimistic for Thanksgiv- 

 ing, no one seems to have many advance 

 orders on hand. Funeral trade is fair, 

 however, and is really the best part of 

 the trade at this time. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. I. W. Kersey, mrmerly a well 

 known bulb grower of Haywards, Cal., 

 died in that town Novejnber 16, aged 

 51 years. ^ 



Thomas Duane, the Martinez nursery- 

 man, is in town on a short visit. 



John Gill, of the E. Gill Nursery Co., 

 West Berkeley, is in Los Angeles, at- 

 tending the convention of the Society 

 of California Nurserymen. G. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



There are slight changes for the bet- 

 ter since last reports and with 

 Thanksgiving only a few days away, 

 everyone was looking forward to an 

 expected rush. Chrysanthemums are 

 in good shape, especially the yellow 

 varieties, while Timothy Eaton is the 

 prevailing white. There is a scarcity 

 of valley and growers are discouraged; 

 everyone seems to have poor luck with 

 the pips. 



Carnations are equal to demand and 

 move well, but Enchantress is soft, 

 and proves a poor keeper, often caus- 

 ing complaint. The general scarcity of 

 green is an item of concern to every- 

 one. 



Out at the greenhouses everything is 

 taking on a Christmas hue; poinsettias 

 are in good shape, and begonias, 

 cyclamen and azaleas will be an im- 

 portant feature for the holidays. 



Various Notes. 



Miss M. Armstrong, who recently dis- 

 continued business in Spokane, stopped 

 over, en route to California for the 

 winter. 



Mrs. L. W. McCoy, of Seattle, 

 stopped over for a few days recently.

GREENHOUSE MANAGEMENT. 



About a year and a half ago I wrote 

 an article for The Eeview entitled 

 "Possibilities," which dealt with auto- 

 matic boiler firing, soil conveying for 

 greenhouses and electric flower forcing. 



So far we have noticed that in re- 

 gard to automatic boiler firing, noth- 

 ing in particular has been accomplished. 

 In regard to soil conveying, this has 

 been brought about, but as yet has not 

 been put forth to any great extent. I 

 will say, however, that it is out, ready 

 to be patented, if the growers only 

 knew where to find it. Then we come 

 to the electric flower forcing. At the 

 time I first mentioned this in The Re- 

 view, about a year and a half ago, it 

 seemed almost impossible. It has, how- 

 ever, been brought forth, probably not 

 to the extent that I first mentioned it, 

 but possibly in a better and wider field.
